    Do you think the 10mm will stick around or become a rarity ?

    I've had interest in getting a nice semi auto pistol chambered for the 10mm cartridge for field carry and hunting for awhile but besides a lot of factory loads being scaled down to 40 S&W levels , being expensive , and somewhat hard to find...I question if this is only going to only get worse if...

    Loose vs tight slide to frame fit on 1911's ?

    One has some noticeable side play and the other is tight with no detected wobble of any kind between slide and frame ! Anyway , the one that is tight is more expensive then the other....so just wondering how this affects accuracy , durability , and other traits of the pistol ? Thanks !

I am deer hunting this coming weekend and...

    Has Ruger quit making the No. 1 in stainless ?

    I have a Ruger No. 1 chambered for the 45-70 cartridge which is stainless and with laminated stock purchased a few years ago ! I recently happened to browse the Ruger website and there are no listing of any stainless versions of the No. 1 and they are limiting the cartridge choices to a few ...

    Recoil Spring in new Sig 1911 carry stainless seems too light !

    Compared to my other center fire semi auto pistols ( P220 , BHP , etc. ) the slide pulls back with way less effort ! I did a search and found others that felt the same about the recoil spring in this model being too light ! I wonder what recoil spring weight the stock spring is...I heard that...

    Fully supported chambers for .45 ACP +P ?

    This picture shows the .45 acp cartridge inserted into the chamber of my S&W 4506 barrel.....my camera skills are lacking but hopefully you can see the case exposure going up the feed ramp ! I'm not sure what is considered supported and non- supported as far as how much case is exposed beyond...

    Anyone using BB .45 ACP +P 255 grain loads or equivalent ?

    The Buffalo Bore website recommends increasing the recoil spring weight by 4-6 lbs over the stock spring......I'd like to try this load in my S&W 4506 and have a Wolff calibration spring pak that goes up to a 20 lb recoil spring ! I normally shoot standard 230 grain FMJ loads but want the...

    Your favorite load for hunting medium game with .357 mag revolver?

    I know there a better calibers to choose for hunting medium game and I do own a S&W 629 when it is the primary choice.....however, my 4" barreled S&W 627 is a little handier when carrying a rifle along so if I get a reasonable shot at a deer I might consider trying it out ! Anyway , for those...

    Did I make a mistake getting a model 1885 in 22 Hornet?

    Okay , I love the rifle and I like the nostalgia of the .22 Hornet and wanted a .22 center fire with less report and about 200 yard useful range.....however , I simply can't find much ammunition for it and when I do it is very costly for a little cartridge that uses 30 to 45 grain bullets ( so...

    A day at the range with my S&W 4506 !

    Any day at the range is fun , so this time I happened to bring my neglected S&W 4506 along with me....I have a feeling I will be shooting it more often ! I still have trouble controlling the .45 pistol in rapid fire compared to my 9mm BHP so I mostly shoot them slow fire for target ! I really...

    38 Special +P with light bullets used in all steel small revolver question ?

    I have never used bullets that weigh less than 158 grains in my N frame .357 magnum revolver , I have heard that .357 loads with bullets that weigh 125 or 110 grain can cause noticeable flame cutting on the top strap of revolver ! I've been thinking of getting a small J frame S&W .357 revolver (...

    Recently , I found a clean model 94 in 30 -30 and the only ammunition I could find was this rather expensive Federal premium 30-30 w 170 grain Nosler partitions ! I bought a few boxes and hope to use it this fall for hunting deer and possibly black bear over bait ! I figure the hoarders...
